Functional Taping was built to fix the predictable mechanical failure points of traditional “kinesiology taping for horses.”
This certification teaches a horse-specific, protocol-driven system—built from research + thousands of case studies—so your results are repeatable, not lucky.
If you want the highest standard in equine functional taping education, start here.
Built for working equine professionals
No prerequisites to enroll. Standards to certify.
If you’re already in practice, this gives you a modality you can integrate immediately. If you’re serious about beginning your equine healthcare career, you can start here—without lowering the standard.

EquiTecs teaches Equine Functional Taping: horse-specific taping protocols designed around biomechanics, tissue behavior, and real movement—not human assumptions copied onto horses.
You’re not just learning where to put tape. You’re learning how to think through the horse in front of you, choose the correct objective, and apply with confidence, precision, and consistency.
Most “it didn’t stick / it didn’t work / it didn’t support” outcomes come from predictable mechanical mismatches—especially when tape is applied the traditional kinesiology way.
Common failure points:
EquiTecs Functional Taping fixes this by standardizing the system:
objective → tape type → body position → stretch percentage → markers of success → troubleshooting.
Yes, I’m that much of a geek: I built the math to explain these failure points so practitioners can understand the “why,” not just copy shapes.
Functional Taping uses two tape types because the objectives are different:
This is why “same placement, same tape” can produce wildly inconsistent results in generic kinesiology education—and why EquiTecs is built for repeatability.
Because practitioners do not need more theory. They need education that helps them create better outcomes.
EquiTecs Functional Taping is:
This is where functional taping stops being interesting theory and starts becoming a clinically useful tool.
When practitioners understand the mechanical limits and match the tool to the objective, they’re better equipped to support case goals that commonly include:
Practitioners aren’t looking for another trendy add-on. They’re looking for tools that help their work hold longer—and help them communicate their reasoning clearly.
Inside the EFT Certification Course, practitioners receive:
EquiTecs does not hand out credentials for watching videos.
To earn certification, practitioners must:
The standard is higher because the expected outcome is higher: practitioners who can produce repeatable results, not just collect information.
The EFT Certification Course includes 20 CE hours. EquiTecs is a Preferred Educator with:
No prerequisites are required.
Want hands-on refinement and faster confidence in the field? The EFT Certification Practicum is available as an optional add-on.
Rebecca Haddock is the creator of EquiTecs EFT and a recognized expert in equine functional taping and biomechanics. She built this modality through decades of fieldwork, ongoing research, and thousands of real case applications.
Her work is known for being science-driven, horse-specific, and clinically grounded. She is also a #1 bestselling author in Equine Medicine and the force behind equine taping education built to this level of structure, rigor, and real-world application.
If you want the highest standard of equine functional taping education available, start here.
Good practitioners should be skeptical. They want to know whether the modality is effective, whether the education is credible, and whether the results are real.
That’s exactly why EquiTecs is built on:
This is not recycled theory. It is education built to follow clinical data and produce real-world outcomes.
You can access the course through the EquiTecs app on a smart device or through the web, so you can learn in the format that works best for you.
The course materials include roughly 20 hours of education.
Certification timing varies depending on the practitioner, but most people should expect the full certification process to take anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on how quickly they move through the material, complete their case studies, and submit their exam.
No. There is no deadline to complete
certification. You can move through the course, case studies, and exam at the pace that makes sense for your schedule and practice.
Yes.
Certification is not just a title. It is another layer of education.
Each exam that is turned in gets Rebecca Haddock’s direct eyes on it and her evaluation. That final step helps verify that you truly understand the material and gives you feedback that can sharpen your clinical use of the modality.
Certified practitioners may also:
No. EquiTecs EFT is the evolution of kinesiology taping for horses. Kinesiology taping began as a 1970s theory—and the method largely hasn’t evolved even as research has shown inconsistent results.
EFT was built by following the research and the failures in the field: repeated application, measured outcomes, and thousands of real case studies to identify what worked, what didn’t, and what had to change. The result is a horse-specific, objective-based system—engineered tape + engineered technique—designed to produce repeatable outcomes, not “sometimes it helps.”
Yes. An Optional In‑Person Practicum (Add‑On) is available for hands-on refinement, placement checks, and live feedback.
